List of functions | |
Ni | Number of adult individuals of phenotypic class i |
Mij | Mating probability between phenotypic classes i and j |
bij,k | Number of mating i x j resulting in offspring of type k |
Cij,k | Probability of mating i x j to produce offspring of types k |
ωi | Effect of inherited characters on fitness of individuals of class i |
ρAa,i | Probability of class i to be heterozygous for the allele “A” |
nk | Total number of offspring of class k |
Demographic parameters * | |
K | Carrying capacity |
r | Growth rate per capita |
α | Competition |
Intercross parameters | |
nL | Number of independent biallelic loci |
γ | Interspecific success rate |
ΩA | Relative fitness of allele “A” in relation to the alternative form “a” |
εA | Dominance degree of the allele “A” |
*Demographic parameter values of carrying capacity and growth rate were fixed according to previous simulations based on a 40-years survey of mallards (K = 118.8, r = 1.3) (see42).
